Check Out The Czech Republic

June 21, 2016

If you want to see a beautiful country in Central Europe then The Czech Republic is a picture perfect country for Indian holidaymakers. All an Indian tourist has to do to visit the Czech Republic is to have a valid passport, a 90 day Schengen Visa, a return travel ticket, medical insurance covering you for 30,000 Euros and a cover letter and itinerary of why and where you want to visit the country. As well as proof of marriage and evidence that you have enough spending money, which is the euro for your Czech vacation.

Since the end of the Soviet Union in ’89, the Czech Republic, and its beautiful capital city Prague has welcomed many holidaymakers from all over the world, from America to Asia and the rest of Europe. The centre of Prague is almost exactly as it was in the Middle Ages, some 500 years ago, and the city is split by the Vltava River, which is spanned by the Charles Bridge, which dates back to the 14^th Century. This flowing river inspired the classical music of Smetana’s Moldau.

The ancient cobbled streets of Prague and lively restaurants serving roast duck and Goulash and bars, which sell the world famous Czech beers, offer plenty to do day and night and there are also many pretty courtyards, chapels and gardens to explore as well as some enticing shops. If you want to travel outside of the capital city then there are stunning castles such as the Český Krumlov and other historical chateaus around the lush countryside.

If you love wandering around art galleries and museums then there are plenty such as the surrealist art at the Veletržní Palác and odd but fascinating sculptures of David Černý, which can be seen in public spaces within Prague., there is even a quirky public fountain that has two characters passing water into a puddle that spells out literary quotations, now that is definitely a picture for the holiday album.

For a trip back in time take a journey from India to the Czech Republic, just remember to take a camera!
